Freshmen:
Tonight for homework you will need to complete the first paragraph of your essay. Please follow your writing notes as you begin to write. Make sure that you have your thematic, attention grabbing opening. Then make your connection to the story. Finally, include your thesis. Bring these to class with you on Thursday/Friday as we will begin coming together and editing for strong beginnings to our essays.
Get off to a good start this nine weeks - 100% completing the assignment.
Seniors:
We are going to focus on poetry for a little bit because we've really neglected it. Tonight, to facilitate that, I would like for your to do some research for homework. Find four British poets who interest you in some way shape or form. Note the following information abouth them:
- Their name. Birth and death dates.
- Major works, poems of acclaim.
- Literary period to which they are connected.
- Reception by the British public - were they famous? obscure?
- Why does this poet interest you?
You can use Wikipedia for this, but you may want to double check to make sure that your information is sound. Don't walk in to class with faulty information tomorrow!

Does Ireland count?
Ireland is like Nigeria in that it's a former British colony, thus applicable for the assignment. The whole of the British Empire is open to you - except the US.
